QUESTION 1

1.1 Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.

The history of ECE is full of research evidence on the benefits of ECE. In
recent times, scientific research has played a critical and important role in
providing evidence for the importance of ECE.

In light of the above passage, state FIVE (5) benefits of ECE?


Five benefits of Early Childhood Education (ECE) are:

1. Improved educational outcomes and results: ECE has been linked to better
academic achievement and educational success. Improved educational
outcomes and results: Numerous studies have shown that participation in
high-quality ECE programs leads to improved educational outcomes and
academic success later in life. For example, children who have attended
quality preschool programs tend to perform better in reading, math, and other
academic subjects during their school years. Longitudinal studies have
demonstrated that the positive effects of ECE can persist into adulthood,
leading to higher graduation rates and increased likelihood of pursuing higher
education.
